The Department of Justice proposed legislation Wednesday to reform a key legal liability shield for the tech industry known as Section 230 [Commerce Decency Act].

  1. …they’re all providing in-kind aid for the Democrats in violation of election laws along with constantly lying about pretty much everything and censoring opinions on a partisan basis.

  2. Too little, too late. Besides, how many wrist slaps can be handed out to the tech industry?
    Do you really think there will be any real penalty?
    Do you really think that the bureaucratese will be written in such a way that lawyers can’t get out of it?
    Do you think the changes will take the liberal “fact-checkers” out of the process?

    If you answered “yes” to any of these, you might be a deep-stater (apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)
